While i was updating one of my apps my phone went to a black screen and restarted i think, i wasn't paying attention to it at the time. And when it came back on none of my apps on my sd card were available. Also im unable to mount or unmount my sd card. I also restarted and removed the battery and sd card, which did nothing.
I just tried a different sd card and it worked. Is it possible that my sd card just died?
Does any other device (Phone, PC card reader) reads your card?
Try re-format it (use 3rd party app).
If not working, then it's dead.
I have the same problem with my SD card.
A formatted and go from zero.
I've had something like this, my card seemed to format itself while in use.
I just reformated the lot and repartitioned using gparted and everything was fine,
think it was down to a dodgy app? on my phone because after i deleted a few apps it never happened again.
What would be an app that would reformat it? And i tired a diffrent sd card in my phone and it read that one so its just my sd card.

Think it was a dodgy copy of swift key that caused it, left that off and its never happened again.

Hello all.
Was just listening to some music on my desire when Astro Player crashed. Couldn't get it to restart so restarted my phone instead. Now its telling me my SD card is damaged and I may need to reformat.
Anything I can do or am I buggered?
It wasn't the original 4gb card, I was using an older 8gb card. I've been using it awhile though without any problems so I doubt that was it?
Do you need the data on it? If not then just reformat it... there´s nothing horrible about this ;-)
I do have some stuff on there I needed. And Isn't a lot of app data stored on the SD card? Just a bit of hassle really isn't it?
Try hooking up the SD card with a card reader directly in your PC, it might be able to open/read the files without a problem. If that's the case, copy everything (just select all>copy) off the card, format it and move the stuff back.
8GB damage & repair
I also have troubles with 8GB card.
Unsure whats wrong but time to time i still get SD Card is corrupted message.
Only U can do is new format or try to read by card reader on your PC.

I managed to get CyanogenMod 7 RC2 up and running. I noticed that I had a lot of junk on my SD card so I thought that I could back it up and then wipe it because most/all of the useful stuff was on the internal memory of the DHD. But, for some reason, my phone is telling me that my SD card is damaged.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with the SD card because I just did a copy/paste thing to back it up. Also, I've put in another SD card and it also says that it's damaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Run fix_permissions and reboot

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think I can do that. I can't put that on my SD card because there if I try to connect it with the computer, I can't mount the SD card or turn on the usb sharing thing. I'll be able to reformat the SD card soon because I'm borrowing a friend's micro sd card to sd card converter.
I tried Fix Permissions by going into recovery and advanced options, but that didn't work =/
Also, I remember now that I uninstalled "Goldcard Helper" because it said it was downloaded to my SD card so I thought that I could uninstall it and be able to clean up my SD card completely. Maybe that had some effect on this?
Got my friend's converter so now I can plug the micro SD directly into my computer. Oddly enough, it said I had to format it before I could use it which is essentially what my phone was telling me to do too.
I'll wipe it then see if it works
Perfect! I think it is working completely now! One last question of what I should do now that it's working. Can I plug it in, restore a few pictures I had, and just let Android take over from there? It's completely blank on the SD card so will Android know what to do with it?
Okay so last night, I was just multitasking on my phone and all of a sudden, I get that dreaded microSD icon on my notifications bar. It says, "SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." I have gotten this in the past and usually a soft reset fixes it (with the oem sd card). I did that, and it was still there.
I tried to connect it to my computer to transfer everything saved, but the sd card won't even mount, so my computer doesn't even see anything on the card! I even tried putting the card in the external USB card reader that came with the card and I can't access it.
I tried using Root Explorer, Settings, and Astro to access the microSd card and it won't let me since it is not mounted.
I am using CM7 RC4 with Lexar 32gb Class 10 card.
Any ideas? I really don't want to lose all my stuff on my SD card, but if I guess if there isn't any fixes, I don't really have a choice.
Try unmount the card place in a like SD adpater and plug in the computer See if it reads it.

Well it seems the card is already unmounted permanently at the moment. When I try to put it in the card reader, my PC won't even read the stuff on it. I mean it will show that a external device is connected but when I click on it, it just does nothing.
This happened to me and it scared the hell out of me. All I did was reboot and it was fixed.

Yeah, I think my card was f'd ..ended up just reformatting it ..lost everything. But it works now lol.
im currently running cm7.
i have an htc EVo.
i was backing up my data on this 4GB to move it on a 8gb micro sd card. i deleted everything on it and ejected it. i put the 8gb in and suddenly it did not work any more. neither did the 4gb mico sd card. my phone says that the micro sd cards are damaged. i have several other cards that wont read. idk why... i tried plugging the micro sd cards up to the computer and the computer wont recognize them. it tells me i have to format but the format always fails. i there a fix for this? im starting to think that cm7 is damaging my sd cards. i have important things on their to me and i would love to recover them.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
*UPDATE*
the 4gb i currently have will work in my old phone. it is a samsung highnote. but when i put it back in my htc evo it still says that it is damaged. i rebooted in clock work mod and it read this time. i was able to mount the 4gb sd card in usb storage from CWM(Clock Work MOd).
Try formating it on your pc

Hey,
Yeah sometimes that happened, now do other micro sd cards work in it?
What I would do is put the card in your computer I prefer linux but you can do what you want, or even your phone if it will mount it in recovery then just do a full sd card wipe and that should get everything working for you! If you still can't get it to work PM me and we will figure it out!
If I helped hit the thanks please and thank you!
The SD Formatter program from the SD association can nearly always format a card when nothing else can. Now, the data on there may not be recoverable though. I learned that the hard way too a while back.

It couldnt reformat my partitioned sd card though! but besides that that program works great!
I have had similar issues. My SD card was working amazingly well until I rebooted my phone to show someone my splash screen I had installed a few days prior. When it booted up it said the SD card was damaged. I'm not sure why....but sure enough it was toast. I couldn't even mount the card in order to see the files on my computer. Thankfully my motherboard was able to see that the card was there, just inaccessible, so I was able to run File Scavenger and get all of my files off. After that I reformatted my SD Card and went about my business.
Well I have a new version of CWM Mod, and apparently when you format the sd-card, it no longer formats the inner sd card but your external sd card. I was really pissed as I lost all my data I had saved, but it also managed to screw up my sd card. Neither of my computers recognize my SD Card and I have no idea how I can go about restoring it. My phone can detect the sd card but it will say its corrupt randomly. So I'm guessing CWM formatted the card in a really screwed up way. Any suggestions brahs?
I'll even try to mount the sd card on CWM but it wont be able to mount it. It's a shame to waste a 32 gig sd card like this
Have you tried to format through the phone storage? Menu/settings/storage/format

How old is the SD card? This phone is know for eating up the 32 GB cards. I had one for less than 3 weeks and it did the same. I use trwp but there is a thread about cards and our misfortunes with the 32 GB.

Make sure you card is not in exfat. CWM will not read cards in exfat, I had the same problem. If it is you are going to need to format it to fat 32. Most 32gigs sd cards and higher come in exfat now. You are most likey going to have to do it on the computer also it cant be done from CWM.

Yes but my computer won't even detect the SD Card. It was fine and dandy up until yesterday when I hit format on CWM on the SD Card thinking I was formatting the internal storage (since it's labelled /sdcard) but it formatted the actual SD. Windows won't detect my Micro SD and neither will my Mac. However if I put the SD card into my phone and connect via USB, it shows up.

You pressed format /sdcard, and it formatted your extsd? That's a pretty serious bug, so thanks for the heads up. What version of CWM are you running?
Op. I did the same thing a long time ago. I have gotten into the habbit of removing the sd card when I am formatting with a custom recovery. I also back up the sd to my pc and reformat the sd when changing roms. A bit off topic but I also wipe system before flashing a new rom. So far I have avoided many of the issues mentioned day after day. Maybe I am lucky but my wierd habits have been successful so far.

Did you manage to fix the problem though? Not to be rude but I'm looking for solutions towards this specific situation, not advice on what to do next time :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

5.8 something. It's weird because it allows for both internal and external SD use. When you backup the first open is to save to external then its internal. First version of CWM i've ever used with such an option.
For anyone wondering about a solution, I used an android 2.3 device which actually has a format option for the SD card and now my computers recognize it again. Life is good
